A panel of distinguished experts will present data from epidemiological, clinical, and experimental studies aimed at improving our understanding of cognitive function in women throughout the life span, the influence of hormones in cognition-related brain areas, mechanisms and hormone action in neurons, and identifying the most important issues of future research.
Beginning in April and continuing throughout the year, the AUAF will host a series of free, online, patient focused webinars on various topics related to sexual and reproductive health. These webinars will be hosted by leading urologists and other experts in the field and listener participation is encouraged, as these webinars are interactive and will allow the audience the ability to offer, receive and discuss information. An added benefit of the webinar format is the confidentiality provided to participants who can join in and ask questions of the experts from the comfort of their own homes. These webinars are part of the AUA Foundation’s “Urology Health Forums” and will remain online 6 to 12 months after the initial presentations to enable individuals to listen to and view the programs again, or at a time more convenient for them. To participate, please go to AUA Foundation Webinars.
